Crain's Detroit Business's Bill Shea reports Red Wings public address announcer Budd Lynch makes an appearance in a new film by Keith Famie, which the director hopes will "break even" in terms of costs if its premiere sells out, and the story's worth noting:

November 29, Crain's Detroit Business: Keith Famie, Detroit celebrity chef turned documentary filmmaker, sounds tired on the telephone. In fact, he sounds exhausted. Time is short and money is tight. For
weeks, he's been spending 15 to 16 hours a day editing 80 hours of
footage shot over the past 14 months into a 90-minute film called
“Detroit: Our Greatest Generation.”

The documentary looks at
how World War II affected Detroit and its people, from far-flung
battlefields around the globe to local factories churning out the war
materiel that prompted President Roosevelt to call the city “the
Arsenal of Democracy.”

The film (a shorter version of which
will air on local television) premieres at a gala event at 7 p.m. Dec.
13 at Detroit's Fox Theatre, which will include local World War II
veterans from the film, current troops and musical performances along
with the documentary....The film includes commentary from NBC's Tom Brokaw and an interview with Detroit Red Wings public address announcer Budd Lynch, alone on the ice in a darkened Joe Louis Arena, talking about his experience as a Canadian soldier on D-Day — a battle that cost him his arm.
